Why Does Freefall Acceleration Sign Differ Between Similar Problems?
I worked two similar freefall problems with the same coordinate system, but had different signs for acceleration on each solution. I thought that if we say +y is up, then a = -9.8 m/s², so I'm confused as to why a = +9.8 m/s² for the second problem. Problem 1: Rock thrown from 30 m cliff with...- willcrys84
